We describe a tool that formally verifies ANSI-C programs. The tool implements a technique called Bounded Model Checking (BMC). In BMC, the transition relation for a complex state machine and its specification are jointly unwound to obtain a Boolean formula, which is then checked for satisfiability by using a SAT procedure. The tool supports all ANSI-C integer operators and all pointer construc...

1 is one of the most famous works in the history of epidemiology. It first appeared as a modest pamphlet in 1849 in the midst of Britain's second epidemic of cholera. A second and more substantial edition appeared in 1855 following another but smaller outbreak , and it is this second edition for which Snow is remembered today. Edmund Alexander Parkes was a logical choice to review Snow's second...

This essay contains an approach to the moral thinking of Pellegrino. This first part addresses the elementary sources of Medicine identity, as seen by the author, which was the starting point for his research on the role of both physicians and Medicine, and led him to his proposal to reform medical ethics. His thinking is developed in four different scopes: 1) the ideal of medical education; 2)...

P is defined here as the integrative study of behavior from the social, cognitive, and biological levels of analysis. This is a broad scientific field that encompasses psychophysiol­ ogy, psychoneuroendocrinology, psychoneuroim­ munology, physiological psychology, behavioral genetics, and several areas of neuroscience. The struggle for integration between mind­ focused and body-focused approach...
